Abstract
A method is proposed to calibrate the long-wave infrared ultra-wide-angle camera in this paper. In addition, a novel calibration chessboard is designed and an advanced chessboard corner positioning method is adopted to improve the calibration precision. The designed calibration chessboard can achieve high thermal infrared contrast and exhibits outstanding stability, which is made of a thermoelectric semiconductor refrigeration device. The proposed subpixel corner positioning method can accurately locate the corners on the calibration chessboard according to the characteristics of the infrared image and the checkerboard pattern. Both the principle of the proposed infrared chessboard and the subpixel corner positioning procedure were presented, and the calibration experiment showed that the mean reprojection error and the root mean square error were reduced to 0.32 pixel and 0.39 pixel, respectively. Comparison studies were also performed to verify the calibration effect of the proposed method, and the possibilities of camera calibration error of the proposed method were analyzed.
